@TheUndead, no need embarassed to ask questions. check out the FAQ thread, making additional PSN account PSNID quite easy, takes a few minutes.

Aiyark! I totally forgot to check the n00b FAQs. LOL

I think I might have found the answer.

First, create a new user account for your PS3. Then register another PSN ID (country of your choice US/SG/UK)

I thought one PS3 account can have many PSN IDs at the same time hehe

oh rx wrote that ah tot kena banned.

yes..tot got banned for 30days......

tak payah appeal la...dia pun tak kan masuk sini balik...

lol ah tot is not coming back?merajuk ker? mcm budak hehe

bout the ps3 lens prob...ive got mine and after several try and error..it seems that my first ps3 cannot be revived....i already changed the lens and hell...go to one console repairer shop and we both try to solve the
issue...but to no avail....

we've changed like 3 console lens and use my bdrom to another working ps3...it seems the lens did not read a thing even wif the working ps3...and to my surprise..the working bdrom did not even work on my ps3 !!!!!easy to say that my bdrom n the ps3 r the culprit.

so the theory bout the locking thingy is somewhat...kinda true...

wut i do remember bout those illegal media i have in my ps3 b4:

1. Pirated DVD
2. Pirated PS2 DVD
3. Pirated PS1 CDROM

so to those who juz bought their precious ps3...never ever let ur shiny ps3 eat all listed media above...coz who knows...ur ps3 will ended up like mine...

right now im enjoying my new PS3 Singapore version and will never ever let any those media into it again...ever!!!

*wut ive seen at the shop..most of the console that catch that COLD:
1. Singapore (like 3 or 4 console effected)
2. HK (1 console)

wow killer.. tough but at least you have a PS3 again
btw... don't all of the game shop sellers tell their PS3 buyers not to insert anything PIRATED into the ps3?! Bernard sure warned me good! as well as others!

Erm... u should change the lens part not the whole BDROM drive as the drive is tied to the console serial id. So u can't just swap the drive from another PS3.

eventhough we change like 3 lenses already..the ps3 seems did not moved from it current state...

wut i do noted while opening and toying wif those unlucky ps3's ...if compared HK PS3 (my ps3 if not mistaken more like first batches PS3) and the new SG PS3...at the back of the bdrom mobo...they added a new...i might say a HEATSINK...where my old HK PS3 got no such thing...only plain thermal thingy..like tape..the dedicated IC is damn hot if u touch it when operating..and if u did not contact the IC wif PS3 main heatsink...the ps3 will hang...i suspect the ic too had to do wif this prob (mine prob only).

it seems that nowadays ps3 lens prob got lot of owner encounter...my advice is..do take care ur ps3 carefully...and if u have money to spend...buy an aditional fan to cool off ur baby..hope it wont encounter any PS3 ROD (overheating prob...ive encounter the prob b4..and sumhow i managed to find the solution )

will post a bit pic later...

err so heat contribute to lens failure as u r saying?

I guess that heat have some how contributed to dead ps3 lens. I've been playing my ps3 for like 24/7 for the past week before it finally become unusable after the 2.01 update.

i am not saying that the heat will contributed to the ps3 lens dead but most probably it will lead the machine hanging while try reading any media.

ya..i too had played my ps3 in long hours...17 hours non stop...after updating...the lens reading capabilities deteriorate...last time i try at air conditioned place...sumhow the reading capabilities is great...but back to my place...its useless...

OMG.. how u all play till 17 hours!?!? longest i ever did was like 4-5.. after tat abit boring di.. thn off awhile.. thn on back again..

wow, 17 hours... repek

me too the longest playtime around 3-4 hours oni,scared when touch the ps3 so hot

PS3 lens is causing so many problems! I remember i did place a Pirated DVD into my PS3 before and that was when the PS3 first came out with the 1.80 or was it 1.82 with the DVD upscale function! That is the one and onli time i did so! After that i place in a DVD-R with pirated PS2 contents but nothing happen!

So now after looking on the points above! Let try to conclude something!
1. Lens malfunction due to firmware
2. Lens spoil due to pirated stuff
3. Continuous play for long hour under hot or warm environment, read disc start to make noise!

any other points?

For my experience, don't play your PS3 under hot or warm environment~!! One or Two Hours is fine, don't keep pushing the PS3~! My classic example, my brother was trying to marathon my PS3 for hours playing Gundam Musou in a very hot room without fan and now whatever blu-ray disc I put will play a screen saying it cannot play or it cannot read.
I believe hot environment cause the lens to malfunction somehow.

like wat Arc_archieve mention earlier! the sony has install a heatsink on the BD-ROM........ so does that mean the heat is a major problem on the BD-ROM.
And even with a heat sink it is not enough since some ppl play it in a very warm room! The BD still malfunction after certain period of time!
